When your paragraph does not have bullets or numbering,
you can set paragraph indentations by paragraph properties. When you use numbering or bullets in the paragraph, the paragraph indentation
is affected by both paragraph properties and numbering properties.It is suggested that you never mix paragraph indents with
numbering indents. If you create numbered paragraphs, you can use a paragraph style without indents and allow the numbering style to control the indents. But if you need to set both paragraph and numbering
indents, here are the steps to follow:- Optional: When your paragraph has numbering
or bullets, the paragraph indentation is also affected by numbering
followed space. To set the numbering followed space,
- Select the paragraph.
- Click .
- Click the Position tab, and specify
the indent settings in the Numbering followed by field.
- Click OK.
